Red Sky

The sky was red this morning just as I was pulling out to head to the farm. This will probably be the last time we see any kind of brightness or color for the next 3 days as snow is expected so a picture needed to be snapped. There are weather reports of a foot of snow to come during the next 3 days but knowing the exaggerations of the news media we will probably only get 6 inches. Still it doesn't hurt to be prepared. At the farm the foals were having a good time running and dancing from one paddock to another. This shot was taken because I thought it framed Caden nicely. He is sure feeling good, irritating the girls again. He thinks it is his mission in life to tease the girls. Diane and mom told us all about the retreat this morning. How wonderful it was and what we missed by being sick. Do you think they were rubbing it in? Once home Sarah tells me she needs to go to the hospital, she feels like she is going to die. She has been sick since Friday and not getting better. We were able to get an appointment with Dr. Schock at 10:20am and need to leave soon. Let's hope he doesn't put her in the hospital our insurance is not that good.

A Short Profile Paragraph

I am the 3rd child of my parents in a line-up of 11. I was the oldest girl so grew up the boss of the house. I have 3 brothers and 7 sisters. We grew up on a small farm on Baer Rd which is just on the outskirts of Peoria in a very large house, big enough to hold all 11 of us plus my parents and numerous foster children. My dad, Paul Meister was the owner of Baer Greenhouse on Baer Rd until he sold that and started Meister Brother's, a Heating and Air conditioning business which my husband and I now own and he started Meister Electric which my brother Spark owns today. My mom is Rhoda and was a stay at home mom. That's not to say she didn't work, it is a lot of work raising us and hundreds of fosters children. Mom is a great cook. She always loved horses and passed that love along to me buying our first pony for us when I was 6 years old. Our parents were members in the Apostolic Church, and brought us up to love the Lord and appreciate our church. We all gave our hearts to Jesus, gave our testimony before the congregation and were baptized, me at age 16. I married my husband at the age of 22 in our Peoria church and we have raised 5 children. All of our children also have given their hearts to Jesus and all are now married. We have 11 grandchildren so far. My sister Diane and I started Horsemeister Inc with the purchase Raven. I love this job, enjoy the horses.
